The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using a macro to query Yahoo Finance Web page Using a stock symbol

Asked by mjpalma in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: yahoo, finance, query

I am creating a workbook to analyze potential stock investments.  I now have 10 macros that create a query and return data to the workbook from 10 unique URLs, each URL uses the company's stock symbol as part of the URL, such as

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ae?s=IT

where IT is the stock symbol.

What I would like to do is enter a stock symbol in cell E5 on a worksheet called "Ratings", and then run a macro that runs the 10 individual macros mentioned above, as well as several other procedures to generate the analysis.  

Each of the 10 macros are the same except for the URL.  

Thanks for your help
Below is a copy of one of the macros:

Sub majorholders()
